But PSG manager Laurent Blanc explained the player will remain in France for now after showdown talks with club management.

"We have been very clear with Lavezzi. We have been very, very clear with him. I don't want to tell you what we said but we have been very clear with him, from the beginning of the season until this transfer window," Blanc said.

"We have been very clear on his situation. He cannot say the contrary. We all know that if someone wants to leave the club, all parts of the club must agree. Apparently, that is not the case because he hasn't moved.

"His contract ends in June and there is a strategy. Well, not really a strategy, but there is a position to stand, hold or keep.

"We have had discussions with players at the end of their contracts. We spoke with them and we told them that we could adapt to their positions if we found satisfaction."
